Now that I'm back in the office, I'm opening up all the lovely holiday business gifts that companies sent to me while I was traveling. They're all pretty great, and some of them are remarkable in their extravagance, but one of the gifts has captured my heart...

A jar of gourmet jellybeans.

I love jellybeans, and having a big jar of them sitting on my desk is a real treat. Even if I end up going into a sugar coma because I am addicted to eating them one after the other.

The problem is that I don't like mixing the flavors, so half of my time is spent picking out the same color beans to eat. It makes me wish that there was somebody you could hire to come organize all your jellybeans and toss out all the flavors you don't like (for me that would be coffee and licorice)...

And now I'm off to wash clothes because there's not a clean pair of underwear left in the house.

Though I suppose there's nothing wrong with going commando on the weekend.

I’m with you on needing a jellybean sorter. I love all the red flavors and it’s running joke in our house about how the jar of jellybeans has absolutely zero red ones in it because I pick them all out. I can leave every other color alone just give me the reds!

Feel free to save the coffee and licorice ones for me. I’ll even send postage for them.

PS: Do you ever get the chance to be home for more than a week at a stretch? Someone should really invent disposable clothes so that you can just throw them away instead of coming home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes. Or at the very least, disposable underwear…

Yep, I sort ’em too but often get the similar colors into the wrong pile. Ain’t it horrible when ya bite into a red one thinking it’s cherry, then finding out it is fire hot pepper? Note to self: always sort in ample light area…
